    Manny his wife and Kids and Manny's Mom Dad Bro Sis as well as Jinky's Family can live more than a lifetime in the Philippines and not having a problem financially, How's that :good.... Manny's net worth is at least $70 million and probably could eclipse more than a $100 million when it's all said and done. Multiply that 44 times and you'll get the point. In the Philippines if you earn 50,000 Pesos you're already living la vida loca lol and 50,000 pesos is like what, $ 1,100 dollars? :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Very true as long as the keep him grounded he will be fine but the good thing is Manny is a humble guy to begin with ..With Tyson he just had the wrong people in his ear who were all yes men ..No one kept him grounded which was his ultimate downfall.

    Jones doesn't have financial issues. He just loves to fight.

    lol true

    well i wish him all the best still you know, but he wouldnt be the first or the last boxer that had millions and was favoured by his country to end up with less than expected

    Don't be so naive... its all about the money.. and don't tell me Floyd doesn't have financial issues cause he just loves to fight... He came back because of that ISSUE... Do you think Erik Morales decided to un-retire cause he just LOVES to fight? And Barrera? :rofl

    Thank God. If the Pacman stayed around till he lost his speed and punch resistance, and started taking stoppage losses, it would be horrible. I can't even bring myself to re-watch Tarver-Jones II/Jones-Johnson/Jones-Calzaghe/Jones-Green as it is.

    His wife is good on handling their money. He already have a lot of good investments here in phi, from apparells, clothings, house rentals, supermarkets, etc.. plus the tv and magazine endorsements. he's far more richer than most if not all of the tv/movie celebrities here.

    Let me quote pac when his mother was troubled by his "too much" giving to other people.

    "Ma, I can't bring wealth up to heaven. It's Ok if I become poor again, I've been there and I can handle it."

    Ya I hope he retires in the next couple of fights, Id say about 3 more. Hes winning impressively but hes taken a lot of punishment in his career, hes proven all he can and Id like to see him leave the sport as healthy as possible and also not lose to anyone that he shouldnt be due to staying longer then he should.

    Man I agree with Pacquiao on this, but didn't you guys always hate and diss Floyd for saying stuff like this
    I'll retire from boxing, boxing won't retire me

    Absolutely not but floyd had top skills when he retired and was not slipping at all, even then I understood his decision because if his heart wasnt in it anymore there was no point in continue fighting when he is loaded and happy.
    At this point it seems to me like he has a very poor understanding of moneymanagement and might end up broke and keep fighting for cash like jones. I hope he is smart enough to get out on time before he becomes a joke and loses to lower fighters. How many boxers retire on time though? maybe 1 out of 10.

    Manny's entourage is very different from that of Tyson and Floyd's. Manny hangs out with multi-millionaires, people who can help him in his business ventures. Tyson and Floyd's are quite the opposite.
